Specification Models of the Radiation Belts: Radiation Environment Data Analyses/Validation
Oral
The main characteristics and principles of the recently developed Slot Region Radiation Environment Models (SRREMs) are presented. The SRREMs are data-based statistical models that characterize the variability of trapped charged particle fluxes in the region between the inner and the outer electron radiation belts. The models are based on the analysis of a large volume of available data and on...

Significant progress has been done in recent years in application of the data assimilation tools to the radiation belt research. Previous studies concentrated on the analysis of radial profiles of phase space density using multi-satellite measurements and radial transport models. In this study we present analysis of the 3D phase space density using the VERB-3D code blended with CRRES...

The Proba-V satellite was launched on the 7th May 2013 onto a sun-synchronous circular low earth orbit at 820 km altitude and 98.7 deg. inclination. The Energetic Particle Telescope (EPT) onboard Proba-V was developed to provide real-time measurements of contamination-free energy spectra of electrons (0.5 – 10 MeV), protons (9 – 300 MeV), α-particles (38 – 1200 MeV) and heavier ions (up to 300...

The definition of regions or times when protons or electrons dominates particle measurements in the radiation belt is deduced from correlation analysis of available channels on the instrument under study. This deep analysis is applied to PROBA-1/SREM and INTEGRAL/SREM measurements in this paper but could be easily applied to any other measurements. First, in flight data will be presented as...

Solar activity can trigger sporadic bursts of energetic particles in the solar wind and increase the number of high and low energy particles trapped inside the Earth's radiation belts. These cause damage to satellites and are a hazard for manned spaceflight and aviation. They are difficult to predict due to uncertainties over the basic physical processes, and the need to access reliable data...
